Just to confirm, there is now a total of 89 SP to use for each class in this update?

[nguuuquaaa]

Edit: @^ yes, 89sp. Have fun grinding 21 class cubes for each of the 8 classes :wacko:

So, is the person(s) presented on Shining Mat F/G a trap? :wacko: :wacko:

Why am I getting infinite loading after selecting my character. :/

Probably same reason a few players were having their characters load as a crumpled up pile of clothes: Files are missing or corrupted from your install. Just do a File Check, should fix your issue... Maybe/c.

Any clue what the set bonus on Xie's 11* set is?

[EvilMag]

Any clue what the set bonus on Xie's 11* set is?

According to friend, +100 HP on each unit +20 attack and +1 PP as set bonus.

[AlphaBlob]

Anyone have a clue what the potential for the new 13* is?

[Poyonche]

It is a PP cost reduction and a damage increase. But the potentials are a little different between the weapons though.

For example, Jetboots has a 3% damage increase while Twin Blades has a 6% damage increase. (Level 3)
But the PP reduction may be higher for Jetboots than Twin blades, not sure about that.

[Perfect Chaos]

As for soul affixing boost, it's stat 3 only iirc. Yeah, as ridiculous as this is if you got stat 1,2, 4 or 5 it doesn't boost.No, they boost everything that has III involved. So it boosts multiple IIs combining into a III, IIIs transferring over, or multiple IIIs combining into a IV. For example, 3 IIIs will get you a 40% rate on IV, but with a soul boost, it becomes 60%. It's a cheaper way to get IV (compared to the sure fire 3x IV method) but comes with a little risk unless there a 10% affix boost.

So, where/how do I get the currency used in the anniversary exchange shop?

Yes, a hit was removed (or something).

[infiniteeverlasting]

so why did they put a new weird looking sub unit in the xie exchange shop for? it's even worth 50 of those weird badges? is there any use for it?

And I'm just curious, but how long will it take to get 300 goddamn badges for weapons? why can't we just have 1 badge and that's it? taking up too much space in my inventory... is it possible to exchange other badges just for the weapon badges?

15 out of four runs so far, each run has been 20 minutes, so about 7 hours of playing to get 300 badges going off this.

How or where do you get that party item people put down in missions to gather a 4/4 group?

It's from the quick menu -> Communication sub-menu (at the top) there is something called "Party maker installation/removal" just above "change online status"'

[Z-0]

Thinking about making a up-to-date R-Atk unit set. Do people go for R-atk or PP boosts? How much PP are people running? Thanks~
R-Atk boost with a spread of affixes to give you PP. A good example is Jiorg Soul, Shoot 3, Modulator, Shoot Boost with PP craft on a Saiki set. This gives you 120 attack with 11PP per unit (plus the 25 PP set effect). You shouldn't really need to invest in any sort of HP at all except in content like Ultimate.

Generally most people run 150-160PP+ now, unless they're in Ultimate where they'll drop the PP to get HP so they don't get killed much (unless they use +100HP timed abilities instead).

A budget is helpful to know how up-to-date you're able to be.

You can trade bronze to silver, gold can be only obtained from quest reward/emergency code reward.

Not really, but one of them (the donuts) are works like triboost

3周年記念ドーナッツ (10 bronze)
>>triboost 50%

3周年記念ワッフル (3 bronze)
>>all atk +100

3周年記念マカロン (3 bronze)
>>HP+200

3周年記念チュロス (3 bronze)
>>PP+10

-Each will only last for 5 minutes
-Those items are untradeable
-Can't be used at the same time, you have to choose which one you use for the next 5 mins
-Consuming same item will prolong their duration
Also please note those food item has expiration date!

Thanks, I kept checking the jp wiki an the text has been greyed out so I suppose it just got updated not too long ago, looks like i wont be spending my silver badges i guess

[final_attack]

Why would anyone want these? There are matter board drops that are better than this...

Mats, maybe? It's ..... ☆１１,right?
And ..... less need to craft, since it gives +100HP by default? The defense .... not that good, but probably enough for newer player? o-o

Edit : I personally plan to get Xie's unit as much as possible though (if I ever get the time) ...... then break them all into mats o-o

[Espri]

I have a mouse with 12 programmable keys, would it be better to bind subpalletes to it and switch weapons with 1-6? Right now it's the other way around.

There's 2 latent variant for new *13 from Xie, both latent are basically the same, but has different DMG boost value probably way to balance the game :^)
Don't know if PP effect being the same or different though, need some time after bunch of people getting their hand on it and test it out.

[the_importer_]

Damn, there's a huge jump in price between between 4 slot and 5 slot units with Diabo Soul. Considering that I need 9 of those to make my 5 slot units, that's quite pricey. How common are 5 slot unit drops from Diabo Igrithys anyway?

any opinion on if the units in xie's shop are any good? (or more specifically, should i just throw away any non-gold badges)

upon first glance, they look pretty shitty, but thought i'd get a second opinion. (of course, the jwiki doesn't have the s-res/r-res values yet)

The only thing they have going for them is 100 hp each but you can get that with hp unit crafts on a set that still has more damage and PP for its set bonus.

[Anduril]

You can always get them to desynth them and then sell or keep the mats for extending better units.

Put the tweaker as a non steam game, and then click the option to not close Tweaker in options for Steam to say, "Hey, I'm playing PSO2 and stuff". I don't know anyone that goes straight to launcher, seems redundant in adding it as a steam game at that point.

What enemies use magics to attack? I'm considering Ex Set for my new armor since the release of SH mode in SEA.

Various enemies in the game use Magic.

Goronorazan (Fat Dragonkin in Chair,) Luda Sorcerors / TD3 Flying Insect things, Breedhas, Quartz Dragon, Dragon Ex, Blu Ringadha (Attacks that come from his Rings, plus the Spear swipes that shoots out 1 - 3 projectiles when he is weakened,) and some other enemies I can't remember use Magic.

Falz Arms when there are two attacking in sync uses Magic when it flings a Ball of energy at you or a Beam (Beam is Dark Falz EQ only.) Apos Dorios mainly uses Element based Attacks. Dark Falz Elder's Eye / Hand Laser is an Element attack. The waves of Energy, Flame Discs, Balls and stuff that Dark Falz Loser uses are Element based. Most of Magatsu's attacks are Element based.

There's actually a lot of enemies in the game that use Magic based attacks, but most deaths in the game will come from Melee attacks (Ultimate Quests are a very good example of this.) If you get Units, you want ones that focus mainly on S.Def.

[Cybermynd]

Is there a way to obtain the mag Down Devices via any other method than Net Cafe points? Trying to clear the bars on my mag before capping and I'm not sure how to get rid of some linger points without using one of these.

[Sora3100]

You can for 50 excubes per mag down device.
They can be found in the excube shop.

[Cybermynd]

I'm not talking about the one that reduces your mag by 1 level I mean the food that just lowers one specific bar to empty basically.

[infiniteeverlasting]

is it worth wasting a 250% for a Limited quest, it seems that gold badges only drop through Emergencey codes and they still drop rarely with 250% on, for me it only has increased my gold badge rate per run by 1 (3 gold badges/run including the 2 for completing the quest at the end).

[Rakurai]

If you're not interested in the Nox weapons, then yeah, it's probably not worth using drop boosters.

I don't understand why sword drop rates are teh worst, i get shitton of daggers but not 1 sword jesus.

This LQ doesn't seem as a congested with mobs as the previous one.....of course the other had the constant Vibraces with the huge chunk of EXP from the fortune one....

[Rakurai]

The food items last only five minutes.

Still makes the Triboost one the most useful by far, since you can just pop it after a boosted boss or Magatsu dies.

[Amazing Ampharos]

This is probably a bit open ended, but what are the current "decent" standards for affixing these days? I've read quite a few guides on the topic, but they are old and mostly guide me toward using stuff that ends up giving me stuff like +65 Tatk (I've been going for Elder Soul/Technique IV/Spirita III/Stamina III) when apparently over 100 is common now. I've heard good things about Apprentice Soul but I'm not sure where she even spawns or what that soul actually does, I'm not sure how many slots are really a good idea to push for or what the current top things to fill slots with are, and I'm not sure how much meseta I should be expecting to drop to accomplish this. I do prefer to get at least some HP but obviously value PP and tatk a lot more, but otherwise I don't really even know what I should be wanting here. I feel like in terms of building my character to be strong this is the last major system in this game I don't fully understand.

Try Elder/Tech III/Spirita III/Alter Magia. That way you get full synergy from Elder with Tech3 and Spi 3, and instead of using 3 fodders for Tech 4 to gain 5 TATK, you use 3 fodders for 20 TATK with Alter Magia.

I really need to update that affixing guide, but not sure how to present it.

The trend nowadays is to PP craft all units and run with minimal HP, then stack full ATK on units, although you'll need a tankier set of units for UQ if you do that.

As for costs... it really varies because it's like, 70% based on the player economy and 30% on Dudu fee. As a general rule of thumb though, the cost of fodders should be at least equal to the Dudu fee, i.e. if your unit costs 1 million to affix with 5 fodders, buy expensive affixes like Modulator, Flict/Alter etc to shove on to make it worth the cost. 4S is decent IMO, or 5S during boost week. Any higher is if you're rich and hardcore. There's a huge difference between cheap 4S like Elder/Tech3/Stam3/Spi3 and expensive 4S like Guranz/Tech3/Flict/Mod.

[Espri]

As a general rule of thumb though, the cost of fodders should be at least equal to the Dudu fee.

What about Hiei? The set effect outclasses pretty much everything that isn't specialized (gloam, negro, tian) or Saiki/Brisa/Magatsu+Vento.

[Selphea]

At least equal, so as long as fodders are >40k it's cool xD but I'd stay away from the 3-fodder stuff like Modulator and Flict/Alter with Hiei, save that for the Saiki/Brisa/etc upgrade.

I think the bonus will be lost if you re-craft it.
At least according to the guide on bumped.org/psublog/pso2-crafting-system-mini-guide/

[spoiler-box]
Please take note of the following situations:

Items will lose their all-class status and other special parameters during the crafting process.
By achieving a Great Success (大成功), the item may gain the chance to be used by multiple classes or reduce the stat required to equip it.
However these parameters are lost again upon re-crafting the item.

Thanks for the info, I'll keep an eye on the website and hope for it since I want to add Stigma but don't want to spend 20 millions on 1 unit just for to get Diabo Soul when Ragne gives the same thing minus 5 T-ATK and DEX.Diabo also has 10 HP over Ragne. The reason that Diabo is more expensive than Guranz, despite PP Souls being much more desired than HP Souls, is because people are actively playing Ultimate Lillipa. And most people that still play Ultimate Naberius often ignore all Diabos unless it's a boosted rare one. If I were you, just go with Guranz Soul, instead, since 3 PP will actually add more to your damage in the long term; 30 HP won't (unless that tiny difference gets you killed, I guess...but that's another problem on its own).
Also, a lot of people use the upslotting method when affixing units by going from 4 to 5 slots. Riskier, but also a lot cheaper in a lot of cases.

[infiniteeverlasting]

i can't decide between Hu/fi or Hu/Br

I do about 1500~ more damage for PAs like Guilty break and ride slasher on Hu/fi than Hu/br, but i'm not sure if its worth it if you have to be in the front for that damage to proc,

meanwhile on hu/br i dont hafto worry about being in the front, and pp recovery doesnt feeel so bad since i maxed out that normal atack damage skill.

anyone have extra advice?

[Shadowstarkirby]

I'm about to use a reset pass on my skills, if I'm using 7* Ext. 12 weapons, should I invest into critical hit skills or are ATK UPs better? I plan on using them for a long time.

[the_importer_]

How do people manage to get like 6 or 7 slots on their units while I can't even get all of mine to 5.?Trying to get my Brisa Set to 5 slot for each unit but it's a pain, even when using 30% Ability Boosts, freaking waste of cube and cash on 4 slot units for parts. The Affix calculator says that when all 5 are at 90%, that I have above 50% chances to win. So far, 1 success out of 6 tries, 100 cubes down the garbage.

Besides waiting to see if we're gonna get a boost week in July, is there another trick to this, something else I'm not using? I learned last month that you can use Triboosts with Rare Drop Boosts, so maybe there's someone else that I haven't tried for adding abilities. I fail to see how everyone in PSO2 wait for a boost week to make 5 slot units.

[ZynischQ]

@importer

They have a lot of money and luck.

More of one, less of the other on a case by case basis.

@Kirby

Stat ups are rarely a good idea unless on specialized sub builds. If it were a choice between those two you'd be better off taking crit.

Not that crit is that great an idea in the first place.
Unless you're a fighter main, a bouncer main/sub, or a gunner main, crit skills are usually a waste of your time.

As someone who dislikes extending weapons, I recommend you to either switch to decent uncrafted weapons or to 10/11* extended weapons, as those gain dex bonuses to help offset that damage variance.

[Espri]

Is there any satk weapon in the game other than td which can't one harpoon sh Bal Rodos with Fi main?

Off-Topic, aren't we overdue for a level cap increase? It's been 7 months since the last one.

[Eternal255]

I'm having a lot of trouble finding a good reason to trade Niren Kamui 11* TD for any other TD available. 700 s-atk + black heart tends to make it more powerful than the strongest 13*. Not to mention one can craft it for another 50 s-atk.

That being said, what am I missing here? Whats the most powerful TD in the game to use as a Fi/Hu? I'm honestly tired of this dagger >.>

[LonelyGaruga]

Niren Kamui has an effective S-ATK of 1447 counting element and potential. Ideal would have 1467 without the potential active. It's weaker than the weakest 13*, so...yeah.

Get some 13*s.

btw don't craft Niren Kamui. You gain 50 S-ATK but the damage variance increases by like, 5+%. Not remotely worth the effort.

[Miles064]

So is there a way to reset the camera or snap it with you as the focus? When using daggers or boots, dashing to things in the air sometimes brings the camera with me. Most of the time it doesn't so the focus is off and I can't really see myself. Moment gale(the aoe one) seems to always adjust the camera but the others only do it like 20% of the time. Any ideas? It would be nice to be able to see when fighting things in the air for once.

[Espri]

Statistically speaking using 28 30%s while grinding is the cheapest method overall. How the RNGods decide your fate will vary.

[Z-0]

Just go up to +7 without using anything (maybe 5%s if you must), then use -1s and perhaps some 30%s for the last three grinds. It costs far less doing this than using skips -- you should only use skips if you lack the grinders.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

Thanks. Is it so terrible that it's always better to go with +7 skip?

It's a question of do you have the grinders to go without?

That's 21 grinders, or two weeks on zeig COs on one character (or one week of two characters assuming you have two lvl60+), and you have to unlock potential sooner or later.

Chances are you have more meseta to burn than lambda grinders.

I do grind skip-> 3 30% grind boosts myself.

[.Jack]

What's the event information about:

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i.imgur.com/Xmb7fBY.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[Espri]

Just go up to +7 without using anything (maybe 5%s if you must), then use -1s and perhaps some 30%s for the last three grinds. It costs far less doing this than using skips -- you should only use skips if you lack the grinders.

Actually math+swiki shows that assuming 300k scratch items and failing each grind from 2-7 once, you save about 1m per +10.


What's the event information about:

Boost event in JP net cafes.

[Z-0]

I find that 200 lambda grinders is what you need to get a weapon to +40 reliably with some fails. This is about 66 grinds, and at 200,000 meseta each, that's only like 15M.

4 skips at 300,000 meseta per AC item is already 24M, and that's not accounting the cost for getting to +10 after +7.

I've ground a lot of 13★ to +40, and I can safely say it's far cheaper to go up manually than use skips. I've used skips before, but only because I was running out of grinders and it always cost more.

[Selphea]

Sounds like the question is whether 164 Lambda grinders is worth 10 mil.

Returning to the game after a long break...I'll get right to my curiosities...

1. How's the activity curve at level cap? Is there interesting things to do aside from TAs and trying to get rares from the EQ? (This was the only thing anybody did at cap before I took a break).

2. Are AQs and EQs still relevant for anything?

3. Is the new ultimate mode quests relevant for anything? Leveling? Loot? What's special about them compared to the limited quest everyone seems to be running?

4. Has affixing yet been made to be any "easier" or more forgiving either through the use of new items or mechanics? I remember getting for example Soul/Pow III and feeling content with a new piece until a boost week where I may luck out and get some 3s and 4s. Now I see people talk like 5s and 6s is piss easy or common and to myself I think like what sort of godly torture are you all putting yourselves through at Dudu for this to be common.

Thanks for the insight!

[Z-0]

1. You're either hunting rares from Ultimate (or badges from the Limited Quest, as it is now) or doing Emergency Quests. There's Kuroto COs and Daily Orders for some guaranteed meseta, which people also do.

2. AQs are really just for levelling in VH. There's a welfare weapon set from SHAQs now that costs a lot of stones and is all class. They are pretty powerful for guaranteed weapons. EQs are still the main attraction of PSO2 though, giving the most amount of cubes and EXP for sure. EQs are also the only place for a lot of 12*s, but the majority of them are not worth wasting your time for.

3. Ultimate drops the best 13*s, but nobody cares about that and just want the guaranteed 13*s from Shii (which are obtained by getting badges from the Limited Quest).

4. 5-6s is piss easy now because of the 5-fodder update. For a full set of 140 attack during boost week (with either HP or PP, depends on your soul/affix usage), it's only gonna cost around 100M and hopefully last you for a long while, since SEGA generally doesn't release unit sets very fast anymore.

[Eternal255]

Niren Kamui has an effective S-ATK of 1447 counting element and potential. Ideal would have 1467 without the potential active. It's weaker than the weakest 13*, so...yeah.

Get some 13*s.

btw don't craft Niren Kamui. You gain 50 S-ATK but the damage variance increases by like, 5+%. Not remotely worth the effort.

crit build so im not worried about variance. can you give me numbers behind that?

Thanks for the insight!

Level cap is pretty much the same, TD and Magatsu I guess. You'd have to ask someone who cares about endgame content though.
AQs now allow you to spend extra caps to increase the risk and SH AQs now go up to level 80. There's some new 12*(?) weapons (purple versions of the XQ weapons, and still allclass) you can get with the large AQ stones (15 for one with 20% element iirc).
Most EQs now go up to Extra Hard difficulty and have new drops so they're still relevent... I think.
UQs are pretty much just for drops and unlocking fusion techs, mainly 13* weapons. They're not very good for leveling because the mobs take a while to kill (as in the don't get oneshot :U ), and they don't give much more exp and VH, you'd be better off leveling in AQs. Z-0 says VH AQs are still better for leveling at any level because of how much squishier the mobs are compared to level 80 ones in SH.
You can now use 5 fodders instead of just 3. The cost of the actual affixing goes up a LOT when you use more than 3, but it's probably cheaper, or at least more reliable, than making really complicated fodders. You can also use fodders that have more affixes (but not less) than the gear you're affixing.

[LonelyGaruga]

1) Ultimate Quests are pretty much active 24/7.

2) AQs are relevant for acquiring fodder to sell. Modulator and Apprentice Soul (drops from Apprentice Doppelganger, +40 to all ATK and boosts Modulator affix rates) are good for this. Magatsu EQ is the main relevant one, drops a good 20+ cubes per run and some good 12*s like the Evil series weapons (mainly the WL, katana, rod, and JBs).

3) Ultimate quests give relatively poor EXP, but drop 10*s somewhat frequently. The main reason to run them is the 13*s. Anga Fundarge drops Ares series weapons, while Slave series weapons are area drops for Ultimate Lilipa. Slave series weapons can also be acquired through trading in a stone from Ultimate Lilipa. 1 stone per S clear, plus some stones from title rewards. Trade-ins have 15 fire element and require 250 stones each.

4) You can affix using five different fodder in addition to the target now, plus some affix buffs here and there, like Fever affixes having a 100% base success rate with just 1 Fever.

[TaigaUC]

Thanks for the info about grinding 13 stars.
I'm low on meseta and haven't tried obtaining Lambda Grinders yet.
I've done Zieg's orders once on multiple characters, so I should be able to exchange for many.

I have another question:
What do people think of the anniversary night blossom 13 stars? Worth getting?
Their latent doesn't look that amazing to me. +6% damage and a tiny PP reduction on PAs/Techs.

Edit: Never mind, I just saw that thread talking about it.

[ultimafia]

I have another question:

Lackluster compared to Ideal and Slave but im getting one anyways, figured 2 weeks more or less worth of grinding would net me a 60 elem 13* (´・ω・`).
For pot I would stay away from Sword, Dagger, Knux, Rifle, Rod and Talis since they only increase your dmg by 1% and reduce your PP consumption by 6% at level 1. The rests are much more balanced (4%/4% at level 1) but they are still sub-par compared to other 13*s pots.

[TaigaUC]

1%? That's a shame. I've always liked the XQ sword. Prefer autumn theme over night blossom, though.
I'm also low on cash and already have Lightning Esparda, so it's not like I need a sword.

[Aine]

Does the triboost effect from 3rd Anniversary Donuts stack with actual Triboosts?

[Perfect Chaos]

Besides waiting to see if we're gonna get a boost week in July, is there another trick to this, something else I'm not using?There's always the the same fodder affix bonus, which gives you a 1.15 multiplier on the percentage before applying +X% items. So that'll give you 99% on each of the 5 slots. But that requires you to get 3 whole sets of Brisa (with 4-slots each) in order to get those percentages.


1%? That's a shame. I've always liked the XQ sword. Prefer autumn theme over night blossom, though.
I'm also low on cash and already have Lightning Esparda, so it's not like I need a sword.It's 3% PA/Tech damage boost + 10% PP cost reduction one of the potentials and 6% PA/Tech damage boost + 6% PP cost reduction on the other, depending on the weapon type. Ultimafia was using lv1 potential values (who even cares about lv1 for endgame?) for the weaker of the two potentials.
Since they are the weakest both in terms of damage boost and in terms of attack stat among the 13* weapons, they're better off used to attribute grind the other 13*s. LOL

[ultimafia]

- (who even cares about lv1 for endgame?) -

People who doesnt have enough money or cant be bothered to +20 a 13* for a measly 2% increase do :^) LOL

[Perfect Chaos]

Well, yeah. Ideally, you shouldn't be grinding yozakura weapons in the first place, since they suck compared to any other 13* series. Regardless, in this case, each level of grinding gives the same increase (technically a tiny bit less, but that's not the point), so the unwillingness to not grind for lv2 and lv3 for such a small gain should also make such a person not want to grind for the first level, either. So based on your logic that those last two +10s for 1% each are not worth it, the first level shouldn't be bothered with as well, so why did you even list 1% at all?

Regardless of all of that, when a person asked how much a potential gives, usually they only care for the maximum value in order to compare to others, so it's pointless to answer using values for lv1.

[wefwq]

People who doesnt have enough money or cant be bothered to +20 a 13* for a measly 2% increase do :^) LOL
because those costume and LA are far more important, right :^)

[ultimafia]

It was clearly my fault not listing the pots at level 3, and yes its true that I wont bother grinding some of Xie's 13*s past +10 since their pots are not worth it unless they belong to the 6%/6% group. Well in my defense I wanted to illustrated how shitty one of the 2 pots is so I figured why not list them at level 1 to make them look even more shitty .

because those costume and LA are far more important, right :^)
Actually I'm just not very efficient at making phat stash of meseta.

Oh, so this is what this "Same" check mark is for on the Affix simulator. Well I technically have 2 Brisa arms and legs, so I would just 1 more of each to make it work (the Rear part I got lucky, made it to 5).

99% is great in my book, thanks you, you've been much helpful :)

I stopped playing the game shortly after 13* were first introduced, and am just recently back. I currently have a Psycho Wand as my main weapon, without proper affixes.

[IndigoNovember]

This (http://pso2.cirnopedia.info/craft_6.php#info) gives a decent explanation of it.
The short and the long of it is this:
You craft a data dive/recipe for a timed ability that is bound to a specific planet and mission type (ARKS Quest, Free Fields, etc.); this drive can have a variety of special abilities from HP restore to Rare Drop Rate boost, and the ability is selected at random upon crafting the data drive, though there is a daily featured ability that has a higher chance of being created. You can recreate the data drive as many times as you want, and once you have one that you like, you can keep it indefinitely, unless you override it with another of the same type (ie. you can only have one rear data drive recipe at a time, and installing a new one makes you lose the previous one).
Once you have a data drive with the ability you want, you then craft the consumable item that allows you to add that ability to your units. The ability will then stay active on your unit for 7 days (14 if you got a Great Success), or until it is overridden.

[Eternal255]

Can someone explain where these numbers come from exactly please?

Max Level is 75. It would be easier to level if you had Tri Boosts, EXP Boosts and whatnot. Just get your Daily Boost to 30% and spam Limited Quest. With EXP Boosts and doing EQs, I got 75 / 75 on my first two Classes within 100 hours played on my new character. It will take you longer, but if you find people to do it with, a full party is 40% extra EXP.

Don't know about the EXP, but I can tell you that the cash is great. Putting aside the cheap rares that you can sale, I make an average of 40K per round on XH with only the Daily Boost to help out for Meseta. It takes about 15 minutes in a full MPA, so that's like 100K in less than an hour. 2 hours per days gets you 2.24M per week (give or take 100K). Add this to your dailies and weekly TACOs and that's a lot of cash for the upcoming boost week.

I mean, does Rapid Boost affects DBs and their PAs? I've seen some YouTube vids of DB Fi/Bo using Rapid Boost, but have never actually gotten it on my skill tree? Maybe I should?Rapid JA used to be bugged and work with any weapon but it got fixed. So yeah, it's not useful for DBs anymore.

[Evangelion X.XX]

^Alright, thanks for clearing it up, man.

[kgrc199913]

between craft 2 ranged 1 melee and 3 ranged for FO, which is better ?

[P51mus]

so, the last two magatsus I attempted on an extra hard block, half hte people leave after about 5 mins. What's going on?

[Z-0]

Taking too long I guess. People are trying to get 4XH runs before the timer is up, and XH Magatsu should only really be taking like 3-7 minutes at worst.

[P51mus]

So, they're expecting to be carried and leaving when it doesn't happen?

[Xaeris]

No, they're expecting each player in the room to pull his or her weight and leaving when it doesn't happen. In honesty, waiting 5 minutes to judge a run a lost cause is exceedingly patient.

[P51mus]

So....no runs is better than two or 3 runs? I don't get it.

[Z-0]

They'd actually get more runs because if a run takes too long, they won't have time to finish extras for more Phase 2, netting them less things overall. I'm sure if runs end up taking too long, people try again, and if the second (or third) run yields no result, just do 4 normal and get 4 XH Phase 2 instead of 2 extremely painful and unfun XH Phase 1s (followed by 2 XH Phase 2s, which is less stuff again since Phase 2 drops more wanted stuff such as the Evil weapons).

Best advice is to stop playing in PUGs. Unless I have a group of friends to play with, I find playing with the common PSO2 user is a waste of time and effort, as it's not very fun to take 25 minutes on Magatsu since that boss is annoying as fuck if it starts walking. Warp, warp, warp, fall, fall, fall, zzzzzzzzzzzzz. Not very fun at all, and not much to boot.

Also remember that Magatsu's HP can be gauged by the points that come up, and I wouldn't be surprised if you've only gotten through like 25% of his HP when people are leaving at the 5 minute mark. (I personally find if 40-50% of HP is not cut through from the triple stun, it's a game not worth playing)

[emeraude]

So, they're expecting to be carried and leaving when it doesn't happen?
If both knees don't break before the first quick trial ends on XH it's gonna be a bad MPA.

[P51mus]

Eh, super hard PUGs of magatsu seem okay. I've only had trouble with the extra hard PUGs. For whatever reason.

[ultimafia]

Eh, super hard PUGs of magatsu seem okay. I've only had trouble with the extra hard PUGs. For whatever reason.

I assume you've just reached 70 on your main and 5x on your sub. If thats correct your equips wouldnt be too hot either and you wouldnt probably be able to carry your own weight, hence people leaving. Pardon me if I was wrong.
Also keep in mind that you theres a huge HP gap between SH and XH difficulty.

[P51mus]

So, where does a +10 koushousen w/ level 1 JA potential, 50 dark element and +70 tatk from abilities rate on the gear list then?

[Nekonownow]

Hey guys, so a friend who's visiting Japan got me a 7/11 webmoney card for pso2. Was wondering where do I actually put the code to redeem the AC? Like in game. Thank you

[red1228]

So, where does a +10 koushousen w/ level 1 JA potential, 50 dark element and +70 tatk from abilities rate on the gear list then?

Re-roll with a fresh one that is fire & the Fire Boost Potential (either store bought or from Magatsu's drop fest).

[Xaeris]

That's pretty low tier. You've ground it to +10 (or bought it as such) so I'll credit you for that, but that's not gear to be taking to Magatsu. Or anywhere, really. If you're playing Force, you should look in the Force thread in the Gameplay and Guides section for better options.

[emeraude]

So, where does a +10 koushousen w/ level 1 JA potential, 50 dark element and +70 tatk from abilities rate on the gear list then?

This is the first time I've heard of using a Koushousen for the JA pot. Get an x50 fire and unlock to level 3 Fire tech boost potential. Might be good enough if you're running Fire Force. I've seen people use it crafted for Ult, you might want to look into that.

All things said though, I advise you to find a better weapon for XH. There is a large jump in difficulty between SH and XH.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

"HP" or "Tediousness" would be better words.

[.Jack]

Which is stronger between the new 12* talis from LQ with dark potential or Xie's 13* talis for dar tech usage? Both maxed at lvl3 potential 160+ affix.

Edit: 12* 50% dark vs 13* 60% dark.

[LonelyGaruga]

12* talis. Not by much though, just a few %. Just looking at it without running the numbers through the damage formula, about 2-3% stronger.

[KazukiQZ]

@.Jack
I'd say the 12* will be stronger, just because the pot is 16% Dark Tech damage, compared 3 or 6% damage up from the 13*.

[.Jack]

Ok, thanks guys :D

I'll upgrade my Seimei Kikami to this new 12* then.

[Poyonche]

Does it worth it to unlock the 13* Xie partizan ? (10% PP thing and 3% damage)

Also, any good ideas of combo to detonate Volg ?

[devilcry123]

How i can report problem or something els to pso2 SEGA ?

[Evangelion X.XX]

Volg Combos that I use:

1) Volg --> PUT (fast damage)

2) Volg --> Sacred Skewer --> PUT

3) Volg --> Sacred Skewer --> Slide End --> Speed Rain (heavy damage on stunned/stationary target).

4) Volg --> Slide End --> PUT (sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't)

[Poyonche]

Excuse me for the dumb question but, what is PUT ? :3

[Evangelion X.XX]

Oh, PUT is for "Pick Up Throw" or Zenith Throw.

Somehow the Japanese spelling of the PA is Katakana for "Pick UP Throw", but in the English Translation it's "Zenith Throw" for some reason.

[Shade_Koopa]

I notice they have costume from previous games (PSO,PSU, etc). Do they have any costumes that are from PSZ?

[Poyonche]

Oooh I see, thanks. :3

And for the potential, any idea ? Imo it does not worth it, but I still wanna know what other persons think about it.

[Poyonche]

I notice they have costume from previous games (PSO,PSU, etc). Do they have any costumes that are from PSZ?

I didn't notice any costumes of PSZ.

[Evangelion X.XX]

I don't think it's worth getting the 13* Partizan from Xie since it's only 3% damage at Lv. 3; it'll be a terrible waste of Lambda Grinders and millions of meseta to grind it and to unlock its potential, in my opinion.

Edit: the only two partizans worth investing millions of meseta into at the moment are Ares and Ideal.

[Remz69]

Oh, PUT is for "Pick Up Throw" or Zenith Throw.

Somehow the Japanese spelling of the PA is Katakana for "Pick UP Throw", but in the English Translation it's "Zenith Throw" for some reason.

the japanese seems to be peak (ピーク)rather than pick (ピック), so zenith makes sense

[Evangelion X.XX]

Granted, ピーク is in fact katakana for peak.

So we have:

ピークアップスロー: Peak Up Throw... whatever.

[Anduril]

This was the patch team's rationale:


For Zenith Throw, we read the katakana as "Peak Up Throw" which is the technically proper way to read it. We then decided that "peak up" sounds super engrishy and changed it to "Zenith." It is highly possible that they actually meant "Pick-up Throw", though one would expect that to be written a bit differently (ピック versus ピーク).

[ruidzh]

I have two questions

1. About the challenge mission. In the mission, a message saying " don't take VR, it is not good" always shows up. So who is supposed to take care of that green bar when it decrease? or when should I take VR?

2.About the golden rings in shopping area

How to play these golden rings? Someone told me to collect all of them. But they are always there when I log in. Nothing change.

Thanks

[Poyonche]

1. You have a VR Manager in every Challenge party, he is the only one supposed to collect the VR cans. (Unless it is a very dangerous situation like 5% left)

2. Just collect all of them and Sonic will get an emerald in its hand.

[Poyonche]

And to resume, it is better that I focus on getting Ideal Partizan or Jetboots (depend If i'll keep to BO/HU or HU/FI) instead of those Xie's 13* ?

[Perfect Chaos]

This was the patch team's rationale: *Quote goes here*So what's their reasoning for things like Last Nemesis -> Final Nemesis?

[Poyonche]

Does Combat JA Bonus apply to Combat Finish ?

[LonelyGaruga]

Does Combat JA Bonus apply to Combat Finish ?

No. Performing Combat Finish ends Katana Combat before the attack is performed.

[Poyonche]

So does it worth it to take it ?

I never played Braver at high level and was thinking about it.

[Z-0]

Yep, best to make your tree look like this:

http://pso2-skill.pwnedgalaxy.net/skillcalc.php?10fbxImbxImbxImbxImbxImbxImbxImbxIm0 jdodBIb000000000doIn0000000jdoib0000000fdo0000000I o00000007oIn00000000doIo4NGAInHnjsNHSHxIb00000jdoI b0000000j

With the extra 2 SP from class cubes, could get something like Counter Edge or Quick Mate, up to you.

[Raujinn]

Is there a knack to Vol Graptor I'm missing? It seems to just disappear entirely instead of planting into the target half the time and it's incredibly frustrating. I swear I've also seen it plain fail to detonate despite my dealing damage to the target and just fade out.

e: Alright half the time is a exaggeration born of frustration, but I would like to know if there's a way to help prevent the former issue from happening. The latter issue is so rare it doesn't really matter.

[Xaeris]

It's a pretty small projectile with no homing capability, so it's entirely possible to miss if don't fire from point blank range. Also, are you switching weapons before the detonation? You'll lose the shard if you switch to another weapon, even if it's another partisan.

[Poyonche]

@Z-0 : Some people told me to go for something like this if I'm 100% katana : http://pso2-skill.pwnedgalaxy.net/skillcalc.php?10eUbxImbxImbxImbxImbxImbxImbxImbxIm cUlO6dodBIoEfkI2fdnINfqnIdJkrAI20000006doIn0000000 jdoib0000000fdo0000000Io00000007oIn00000000doqB4NG AdF6sNHSHxdB00000jdoIb0000000j

Are the bow skills for boss killer or Anga ?

[Z-0]

Boss killing. Even as a full S-Atk build, Bow will kill bosses faster than Katana ever can (especially since they nerfed Hatou recently, lol).

I don't recommend 100% Katana because that's just gimping yourself really.

[Raujinn]

I'm not switching weapons. Guess I'm just somehow missing from near point-blank range occasionally.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

Boss killing. Even as a full S-Atk build, Bow will kill bosses faster than Katana ever can (especially since they nerfed Hatou recently, lol).

I don't recommend 100% Katana because that's just gimping yourself really.

Anyone not Ra, Fo, or Fi is gimping themselves already. Doesn't matter.

[Miles064]

Anyone not Ra, Fo, or Fi is gimping themselves already. Doesn't matter.

I'm starting to think you don't like FO and FI for some reason.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

I'm starting to think you don't like FO and FI for some reason.

Fi, eh...

Fos, I don't like how strong they are.

Anyway, my point is (though I did a bad job of stating it) I'd rather not tell someone use X weapon because it's stronger than Y when they're two entirely different weapons. Katanas are still more than capable of parry cheesing, and killing SH bosses within 20 seconds. Bow build isn't necessary, and some people might not like having to use a gimmick like banis arrow -> massive hunter -> KA spam.

[Poyonche]

Maybe he doesn't like them because Fo atm is like "RAFOIE SPAM BRU" or "ILBARTA SPAM BRU" or whatever technique you can spam and kill everything, while some fighters are "Wait what ? There are other PAs than Symphonic Drive ? Didn't know they existed lol". And for Ra, just Weak Bullet I think.

Ninja'd, he answered. :c

@Z-0 : So something like that may be cool ? (I removed S-atk 1 because to me the counter skills, quick mate and J Reversal Cover sounds useful)
http://pso2-skill.pwnedgalaxy.net/skillcalc.php?10eNbxImbxImbxImbxImbxImbxImbxImbxIm cUlO6dodBIoEfkI2fdnINfqnIdJkrAI20000006doIn0000000 jdoib0000000fdo0000000Io00000007oIn00000000dBqB4Nf dBHnjsNHSHxdB00000jdoIb0000000j

Any idea on a good bow I could get ?

[Miles064]

Fi, eh...

Fos, I don't like how strong they are.

Anyway, my point is (though I did a bad job of stating it) I'd rather not tell someone use X weapon because it's stronger than Y when they're two entirely different weapons.

Oh I was just messing with ya. As much as I love FO, they could use a tad of toning down and limit break is just dumb. I will say the fact that katana BR using bows for bossing makes me much more interested in them. The whole "focus everything on one part of the class" thing got dumb after I realized having both fury and guard stance was pointless. Now FI even goes with just brave stance for the most part.

[Z-0]

Ideal Bow is the best choice for sure. It's really easy to get since it's guaranteed, and the best boss killing bow in the game.

When using it, you want to do Banish > Kamikaze x2 on bosses (Chase Arrow can be done before things like boss teleporters if you wish). Kamikaze takes striking modifiers so it's no big deal.

Also I think it's much better than BR gets to use bow for something now, instead of only Katana. They're different weapons entirely, used for different situations. That's like telling people not to use Daggers as FI because "Partizan does more single target damage", even though they're used for different things.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

Just saying it's fine if someone wants to stick to just katanas. They're are still very good on their own. There are other reasons besides damage that a person could stick to katanas if they want, like actually having a guard, or combat escape.

[Beatrix kiddo]

When does the trade-in for Xie's 13* weps end ? Is it 26th August ?

[Anduril]

So what's their reasoning for things like Last Nemesis -> Final Nemesis?
This:

Last Nemesis became Final Nemesis because I thought it sounded better. I don't shy away from changing names when I think they would sound better in English, but I do try and keep the meaning (compare 'Peak Up Throw', the literal Japanese name, with 'Zenith Throw', the name I gave it).

[emeraude]

Is it worth upgrading a x31 グラヴィリオス (Gravilios, Ancient Oath pot) to an x30 宵白鳳 (Xie 13* rod)?
The former is fully unlocked already, and I really think I won't be x60ing the Xie rod.

I was thinking I'd just attribute grind the Gravilios instead and use the badges for another weapon...thoughts?

[LonelyGaruga]

And there's no reason you can't use a katana for those situations while using a bow for when it's preferable. And of course katana only is "fine", it's merely fine. There are better ways to play Braver however. Just because Braver isn't a top tier class doesn't mean you shouldn't play it efficiently.

Might as well stick with Gravilios. It would do more damage as long as you were matching weakness anyway.

I have a really quick question about the OTP for PSO2.

What happens if you fail to input the correct OTP 4 times but got it right the 5th time?
Does the OTP reset the failed attempts after you got the correct code? or are you screwed if you don't put the correct code when you log back in?

[wefwq]

It's reset to 0 everytime you put the right passcode.
You're only screwed if you used up all of your chance in single trip, which will need you to unlock your ID manually to have it reset again.

Thanks for the quick reply,

why would someone exchange ac items for a recycle badge?

why would someone exchange ac items for a recycle badge?They don't want the item and it sells for less than the recycle badges? I feel like they exist just to normalize the minimum price for AC items more. I have no idea if they're accomplishing that...

50 badges takes less space than 50 costumes/la

I know that running the first round of Magatsu on XH will get you better rares and more stones, but if I were looking only for Cubes, could I get more by doing 4 SH instead of 2 or 3 XH which seems to be the norm on my ship and then do round 2 (AIS) on XH?

I stayed at Ex Lv8, the little extra defense is not worth it. Now if they added am extra 5 PP per unit, that would be something else.

@Beatrix Yes, after 26th August you won't be able to trade in your badges for 13* or the coming(in 8th July i think) recolored weapon camos of some 12* (Gravilos, Sarce Punisher.......)

GG updated to be Windows 8.1 compatible just before it launched, so I imagine we'll see the same for Windows 10 happen either July 21st's or 28th's maintenance.

Think i might just farm badges for the rest of the event. exp in LQ seems sort of.....low compared to the usual.

Althougg I suppose the purpose is to get badges so.....

[Perfect Chaos]

most people dont recommend doing lv10 cuz its way too expensiveIt's only roughly 1 million meseta extra per unit to go for lv10 instead of lv8. I guess the gain is relatively small compared to the increase in cost, but being a completionist, I figured that since I'm already willing to spend a bunch of meseta on such a thing, I might as well go all the way and get the best thing.

I'll double check once we're back online, but I'm pretty sure that unlocking everything else to get to Special Lv10 when starting from Lv8 will cost you like $15 000 000. If this all you have left to do in the game, go for it, but if that's not the case, you could really put that money to better use IMO.
